– How do our bodies seem to naturally wake up when you have to set an alarm early?

Question

What I mean by this is miraculous every time you have to set an alarm to wake up early, your body always somehow naturally wakes up to that time, a lot of times even right before the alarm. How does this happen? I know I’d never wake up at that time regularly.

Answer 1

We naturally wake up multiple times throughout the night You have to partially wake up just to turn over. Normally you just turn over though and go back to sleep. But when you have the clock set for early, your brain sometimes spontaneously wants to know what time it is, so you automatically look real quick and see how much time you have left to sleep You may do that multiple times and yet have no recollection of that in the morning.
